Troy leads UAB 10-0, thanks in part to a miscue on a punt. A rugby punt by Troy's Will Scott took a funny bounce and hit UAB freshman Kelton Brackett on the leg. That set up the Trojans in UAB territory for a drive capped by Shawn Southward's plunge over the top from the 1-yard line.

The Trojans also got a 44-yard field goal from Scott.

Troy has outgained UAB 98-51 through a quarter. UAB quarterback Jonathan Perry is just 3-for-8 for 33 yards passing thus far. Troy's Corey Robinson is only 2-for-7 for 8 yards, but Southward has 60 rushing yards on nine carries.
